Sometimes a reboot is required.
Well, if you get it running, what I will want to know is whether you don't find it refusing to shut down just exactly when you need it to shut down in a hurry. That happens to me a lot when I'm shutting MSWindows down. A thought, to reduce the impact, I would tend to want to let it download n the background if I were going to go with this. Then the only thing that would be holding you up on shutdown would be the install part. I think I'd also like it to query me before it started the install, so I have a chance to hold the install off when I need to reboot it quick or something.
